Read the first 7 Hub Configuration and Management flashcards as text

  1. Which MDM Hub batch job must be run before the Match job to ensure source data is available in the staging tables?

    Answer: Stage job

    The Stage job moves and cleanses data from landing tables into staging tables, making it available for subsequent Match and Load jobs.

  2. In MDM Hub, what is the primary function of the 'Tokenize' batch job?

    Answer: To generate match tokens (standardized keys) from staging records used in the match process

    The Tokenize job creates standardized match tokens from staging data so the Match job can efficiently compare records using indexed key lookups.

  3. Which component in Informatica MDM Hub manages the execution of cleanse functions applied to staging data?

    Answer: Process Server (Cleanse Match Server)

    The Process Server, also called the Cleanse Match Server, executes cleanse functions and match operations, offloading intensive processing from the Hub Server.

  4. What is the purpose of configuring a 'Cleanse Function' in MDM Hub Schema Manager?

    Answer: To standardize and normalize incoming data values before they are matched or loaded into the base object

    Cleanse functions transform raw source values—such as standardizing phone formats or uppercasing names—to improve data quality and match accuracy.

  5. In MDM Hub's Security Access Manager (SAM), what is a 'resource group'?

    Answer: A logical collection of Hub resources (base objects, packages, etc.) to which roles are granted access

    Resource groups bundle Hub objects so that a single role assignment grants or restricts access to multiple related resources simultaneously.

  6. When configuring the MDM Hub Server's cmxserver.properties file, what does the 'cmx.server.datalayer.cleanse.plugindir' property specify?

    Answer: The file system path where custom cleanse library JARs are deployed

    This property points to the directory containing custom cleanse plug-in JARs so the Process Server can load and execute them during staging.

  7. Which MDM Hub batch job recalculates the Best Version of Truth (BVT) for golden records after source data or trust configurations change?

    Answer: Recalculate BVT job

    The Recalculate BVT job reapplies trust rules across all cross-reference records to update golden record field values after configuration or data changes.
